Takata airbag recall check

All manufacturer pages to check whether a UK-registered vehicle is affected by a Takata airbag recall: the VIN checks of every affected manufacturer that offers one online, in one place.

Have your VIN ready. The 17-character vehicle identification number is on your V5C logbook and at the bottom of the windscreen. If the check shows a “Stop Drive” notice, stop using the car and contact the dealer. The repair is free.

How to check

  1. Find your brand below and open its check page.
  2. Enter your VIN. Repeat every few months – manufacturers keep extending their lists.
  3. If affected, book an appointment with an authorised dealer. Check used and imported cars too – the recall follows the car, not the owner.

About this site

For more than ten years, the largest recall in automotive history has been under way worldwide: millions of vehicles were fitted with faulty airbags from the Japanese supplier Takata. Their inflators can degrade over time and rupture when deployed, throwing metal fragments into the cabin. Many brands and models on UK roads are affected.

The only reliable way to find out whether your own car is affected is its vehicle identification number (VIN). Each manufacturer runs its own check – spread across different websites and often hard to find.

This site brings together the online VIN checks of every affected manufacturer that offers one in the UK. Pick your brand, enter the 17-character VIN from your V5C logbook and within seconds you’ll know whether your car needs to go to the dealer. If it is affected, the airbag is replaced free of charge by an authorised dealer.
